His Excellency Abba Eban, newly appointed Ambassador of
Israel, called on me today to present copies of his credentials
and to request an appointment with the President.
After the usual exchange of courtesies, the Ambassador
spoke with particular pleasure and emphasis in regard to his new
assignment to Washington. He said that he was already very
familiar with the United States, and that his service as Israeli
Delegate to the United Nations, which position he would continue
to hold in addition to his position as Ambassador here, had
brought him into close contact with American personalities, cus-
toms and traditions.
The Ambassador stated that he felt greatly honored to be
the second person to hold this position, since the formation of
his country, and that he would endeavor to carry out his new
responsibilities to the best of his ability with the background
of a particularly friendly attitude toward the United States.
I gave the Ambassador the assurances of my satisfaction at
his appointment, telling him that he could count on me to be of
any possible assistance, should the occasion arise in connection
with the carrying out of his new responsibilities in Washington.
No matters of a political nature were discussed.
